*SOLVED* VLC errror with FLV files, changes Windows 7 Look

[sendblink23]

Hi I am currently using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, with VLC version 1.0.5 Goldeneye

I'm having a huge issue, every time I play a FLV movie file Windows 7 transparent look automatically converts to Basic(no transparency) and after I stop the movie it turns back to how I originally have my Windows 7 look with Transparency

Its entirely odd since before that has never happened to me before with the same flv movie files, with previous VLC player versions. I can confirm all other movies files I have: mkv, wmv, avi, mpg, etc... all work perfectly fine its only flv who is causing the issue with the latest version of vlc player.

Any help on a way to fix this odd issue I am getting?

MSI 770-C45 AM3
AMD Phenom ii X4 965be C3
8gb (4 x 2gb) DDR3 1600Mhz
ATI Radeon HD 4650 1gb DDR2
1TB 7200rpm Hitachi Deskstar

Open Tools -> Messages... (set Verbosity to 2) before you open FLV file, and report log here after you have opened the file.

When VLC its opened I do have windows transparency, but as soon as I play the movie it disables turns to basic, then I'd have to close VLC for my Windows to turn back on its transparency.

vout_directx debug: created video sub-window

For some reason DirectX video output module is used. You should set the default to Direct3D and it should work.

Thank you, that fixed it. Odd and weird why isn't it by default set up like that in the latest version, the previous one worked fine not changing anything. But anyways again thanks.
